sunflower lecithin for clogged duct

Sunflower lecithin is described as a natural fat emulsifier that can help break up fat globules, reduce the "stickiness" of milk, and may improve milk flow or loosen existing fatty clogs in plugged ducts.

Common directions list 1 softgel three to four times daily when treating a plugged duct, and 1 softgel twice daily for ongoing maintenance. Many softgels are labeled around 1,200 mg each.

Sunflower lecithin is sold in several supplement formats, most commonly softgels and powders; other forms shown include capsules, pills, gummies and chewable tablets.

Softgel strengths shown range from about 1,200 mg per softgel up to 2,400 mg per serving, while powder servings are listed around 7,000 mg per tablespoon.

Available product details advise taking sunflower lecithin with food and staying hydrated. For plugged ducts, the listed softgel dosing is typically 1 softgel three to four times daily (as noted in the product directions).
